Hummingbirds can be very picky. Their preference is for the red wines, the darker the better. In a pinch they well go for a rose'.
Actually many birds and mammals get drunk on fermented fruit. I have seen one rather soused Black Bear in Yellowstone and read about some buck deer that were blitzed. I read, a long time ago, about some drunk Cedar Waxwings "sleeping it off" by lying on a branch with the legs hanging down on each side.
